I've never really written a Beauty post before, which is surprising considering how much of my loan I spend on products I primp my face with, so on that note, here is a little post on my daily essentials.
My beauty regime has drastically changed over the three years that I've been in uni, partially thanks to some self-actualisation and a bit of major introspective reflection. Gone are the glittery days of my teenage years, way back when I could get away with silver glitter at 11am ready for Friday Mass at my Catholic Alma Mater. Right now, after years of trying to achieve my golden mean, I have finally managed to get the basics down and just keep to the bare minimum (but not so minimal it's pale and sickly!). Over the past couple of years, I realised that there was no way that I would get any employment post-University if I came out into the world looking like a gender-confused fashionista ingenue. Granted that I would love to look like that till I see the waning of my twenties, I decided to look at things from that perspective. My golden mean was a look that says 'grown-up and polished, but still with a bit of pizzazz', but every now and again I would let my inner Anna Piaggi out and throw caution in the air. Whenever that happens I just rationalise and say, "You're still a student! Make this year count and get it all out of your system!", so out comes the occasional smoky eye, or wine dark lips. And why not? Live a little! If there is a single artistic stroke in my body, I would confidently say that it would be the perfect, graphic MAC fluidline liner that I draw on my eyelids every morning.
So here's my list of daily beauty essentials. Have a look and know that these come highly recommended!
